Horses To Follow - Moonee Valley 14 June 2010

Monday, 14 June 2010 23:54

The following runners caught the eye at Monday's Moonee Valley meeting:

Race 6: Simpson Construction Handicap (1000m):

Tasmanian sprinter Twenty Grand has never started a preparation under 1200m nor against the class of sprinter he met at the Valley today so it was no surprise he was run off his feet in the early stages.

Standing the second last horse the best part of six lengths at the 300m, Twenty Grand finished the race being eased to avoid checking off the heels of the fourth placed Our Baby Bonus.

With a step up to 1200-1300m he looks a great each way bet at astronomical odds.

Race 2: Hoyts Foods Handicap (1600m):

The Kavanagh trained Believe 'n Achieve has already won seven races from just eleven starts so its not too hard to include this outstanding filly.

But yesterday she carried weight against some handy colts and there is no better test of a quality mare than that. 

Almost bomb proof - will win in the Spring.
